Another report from our team in Ethiopia

Tonight, we had our first church service in Gondar. The church was packed with over a 1,000 people! We had to bring in extra seats to accommodate everyone!

The evening kicked off with the team’s stomp dance. Talk about high-energy! Sarah taught on “going through tests” which is something the people of Ethiopia face every day. Violence, lack, and AIDS continue to take an unimaginable toll on the nation. At the core of her message she shared important keys on trusting God in the midst of the trial. Sarah had those having a difficult time trusting God raise their hands; then those who weren’t having a hard time trusting Him raised their hand—she had these pray for the ones having a hard time. It was a dynamic time of ministry—and a GREAT first service. Thanks for your prayers.

 

Help me help Ethiopia

My mom has been helping Africa for more than 25 years. She has gone to many countries, held meetings, worked with local pastors, and provided food, supplies, medicine and other stuff.

Now, years later, the doors are open for me to take a team to Ethiopia this summer, where 1 in 5 children die before age 5, mainly because their drinking water is contaminated with human waste. We will provide funds for a water filtration system in the city of Gondor. We’ll provide food and medical supplies, and share the love of Jesus with everyone we come in contact with!  It’s going to be awesome!  Check your calendar and make plans to give a piece of yourself to some of the most deserving people on the planet this summer!

If you can’t go, you can still send help to the kids and people in Ethiopia. Your gift will help purchase the water filtration system for the city of Gondor; go here to send your support.  Thanks, Sarah
